"David and Karin,s Family." <[email protected]>


We are a very fun loving and happy family, we also like keeping fit,
We are very patient when it comes to taking care of our kids cause
kids need time to grow and would need some like a big sister to become
a member of the family and take care of our kids.
We need someone to help out at breakfast times getting the kids ready
etc. They get the school bus from across the road. You would typically
be free from 7.35am each morning until school pick up in the afternoon
around 3.15-3.45 and look after until the parents arrive home
(6.30/7), you would be required to pick up at 12.15pm on Fridays.

We need someone who knows how to play with children, respond to them
and engage at their level. Duties would involve supervising and
helping with homework, playing, taking to activities, preparing supper
for the kids and bath time help.

You need to be proactive, able to be firm, flexible and independent,
able to make friends with other Nannies/ Au pairs in the area or
otherwise keep yourself busy during the day. You need to be able to
cook or follow a recipe. If you live in you will also be expected to
eat with the Kids and encourage healthy eating habits

Daily light housework is all that is required as we have a full-time
cleaner already who comes frequently but I need you to help tidy up in
between times and keep the Children s rooms neat. You must be either
fluent in English or have it as a first language. Someone who is
active, likes to encourage painting/ arts and craft activities and
isn’t afraid of children jumping on them or hugging them would do
well.

The pay is £180/week, plus food and accommodation. This is based on
five full days; the other two days, you would be free! You would be
entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday per year pro rate, to be taken during
school holidays only. There is huge potential to earn extra money, by
doing extra babysitting or cleaning for other local friends and
families.
You will have your own private large bedroom, with TV/DVD and internet
access. The bathroom has a (bath and shower).

We’d like you to:
• Be caring, reliable, honest, hard-working, cheerful and easy
going,have good commonsense and a level of independence
• Have previous Au pair/childcare experience
• Speak English
• Have excellent and check able references
• Be a non-smoker
• Have basic cooking skills
• Be energetic and enjoy the outdoors
• Driving license would be useful but not essential

If you are interested in being a part of our family, please email,with
a copy of your Bio Data, A scanned copy of your International
passport, birth certificate, Passport photograph with white background
and your available start date, and a recent photograph (if possible)
so that we can check if you are eligible to apply for Visa and Work
Permit.

We look forward to meeting you!

Thank you.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but this is another scam. Unfortunately, you will find that the nanny area is full of scams.

UK has a very limited nanny visa program, and only people from specific countries can get visas. If you are not from one of those countries, there is no way you can get a visa to become a nanny in UK, unless you were working for the same family for a year before they moved to UK.

For example, many of these scammers target people from Philippines, but Philippines is not on the list of accepted countries. If you are from Philippines, and you receive job offers to become a nanny in UK, then they will all turn out to be scams, because you are not eligible to work there as a nanny, and there is no way to get a visa.

Besides the 44-70 number and the poor English (which tells me for certain that it is a scam), you can find that entire section, every single word, in this scam here, which means the scammer is reusing part of an existing scam script.

Thanks for the prompt and warm response, I am looking for someone that i can treat as part of my family and not just as a nanny/aupair. I really want someone who will proactively talk, sing, laugh, interact, with the kids. I will like you to know that the position is yours and in this mail, You will read all you need to know about my family.
Firstly You are free to start as soon as possible, I will appreciate you coming immediately but any date of your choice will also be welcome. About your coming, For your valid visa and work permit to stay in the US, I will like you to contact the US immigration who can help you get your visa, work permit and other documents needed by you at a reasonable cost and very quickly. ([email protected]) you can send them an email and keep me update regarding the process.

I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD GO DIRECTLY TO US IMMIGRATION DIRECTLY THIS IS THEIR ANSWER:

Good to hear from you once again and am so happy regarding your seriousness in taking up this position. But i must tell you that my husband needs someone who will show sign of seriousness about coming. We are okay with you doing things your own way but we want you to know that it will slow your processing when you go about it your own way. Hence why we said that you should contact the immigration via that email and also let them know you are from us, So they can give speedy response to you. instead of going it your own way which will take months and also might end up in the visa not being approved. Hence we advice that you kindly get in touch with the immigration via the contact we have provided to you for speedy and fast processing and also do not fail to update us regarding the whole processing.
Regards...........

Of course the scammer tells you not to contact anything else then his own email address, otherwise his scam would not work! Thank you for posting this.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
